Hi Suzi and Sarah, Many thanks for your kind comments and sending through the pictures of the boys. It was an absolute pleasure for us to do the session and it was marvellous to get the pictures and thanks in the post from the lads. Please thank them very much from the both of us. We very much look forward to working with you and Gorsey bank in the future.

With Kindest regards, Andrew and Matt

Hello, I would like to thank Andrew and Matt for the wonderful visit we recently had. I work at Gorsey Bank primary school in Wilmslow and we recently had the opportunity to bring 2 children with downs syndrome for a visit to the vivarium. Andrew and Matt were fantastic, fascinating and very patient. It was so beneficial for the children to get up close and sensory with the animals. I have sent some pictures of our visit to share on the site:http://frogblogmanchester.wordpress.com/about/special-needs-sessions/gorsey-bank-visit/

Thanks so much again and we hope your work with schools and special needs in particular continues as it provides an invaluable out-of-the-classroom experience.

All the best Suzi Grantham and Sarah Dalton

We visited the museum on the 16th February and arranged a tour of the vivarium and are glad we did. We were met by Adam who introduced us to Andrew who,gave us a brief of what was to happen. Due to half term we would be seeing the animals where they were kept rather than in the vivarium.He showed us various species of rare amphibians and was very knowledgeable and informative. He obviously cares and is very devoted to his work. Thank you all and good luck with your future endeavours.

If your interest is photography, frogs or both, this is a course you must attend. Thank you to all involved in organising. Excellent.

Thanks for a brilliant two days ! The course was perfect in terms of the balance between theory and practical sessions and the enthusiasm and knowledge of Chris and Andrew and the other museum staff made it a really rewarding experience.
Great frogs !!

Course was excellent, particularly the enthusiasm of Chris and Andrew.
I learnt a lot in two days, and took some fantastic pictures. (Still don’t like frogs though!)

Best wishes
